“If the words of God are uttered merely as verbal expressions, and their message is not rooted in the virtuous way of life of those who utter them, they will not be heard. But if they are uttered through the practice of the commandments, their sound has such power that they dissolve the demons and dispose men eagerly to build their hearts into temples of God through making progress in works of righteousness.” IfsMenWayHeartChristianSoundPracticeProgressHeardExpressionMessagesDemonTemplesOrthodoxRighteousnessWord Of GodRootedVirtuousCommandmentsOrthodox Christian Author:Maximus the Confessor
“I'd have to say, and I think that most Christians would hold the view, that there is such a thing as evil, and there are evil forces at work.

“The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. We are plainly told in the Scriptures that in the last days men will not endure sound doctrine and will depart from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears.
